Technical details
A type confusion vulnerability (CWE-843) exists in Parse Server's LiveQuery implementation. Authenticated users with 'find' class-level permissions can bypass 'protectedFields' restrictions by submitting a subscription query where logical operators ($or, $and, or $nor) contain an 'array-like' object (a plain object with numeric keys and a length property) instead of a standard array. This bypasses the protected-field guard, allowing the subscription event to act as a binary oracle. Attackers can use this to systematically infer the values of protected fields. The issue is fixed in versions 8.6.70 and 9.7.0-alpha.18.
